RE: Object[] cast to String[]

[Premal Jhaveri]

Vector.toString() creates a new array of object.. and that is not same as   Object[] objArray1 = (Object[]) strArray1;     -Premal   public synchronized Object[] toArray() {  Object[] result = new Object[elementCount];  System.arraycopy(elementData, 0, result, 0, elementCount);  return result;     } -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Cobb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2001 4:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Object[] cast to String[]     Very simple stuff here, casting a string array to an object array and back to another string array, works fine       String[] strArray1 = new String[]{"A","B","C"};     Object[] objArray1 = (Object[])strArray1;     String[] strArray2 = (String[])objArray1;     Now, a vector that calls toArray() that returns an array of objects, but when you cast that array to one of strings it throws a ClassCastException       Vector v = new Vector();     v.addElement("A");     v.addElement("B");     v.addElement("C");       Object[] objects = v.toArray();     String[] strings = (String[])objects; /* blows up here */   What's the difference between the last two lines of each section of code.   Thanks for the help, Jeremy
